lawsy009 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 You know if I buy the game via Steam, what happens? I mean does it get delivered to my door, or what? It's probably a dumb question I know, but I was just wondering how it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You purchase from steam- then go to "my games" and click download- it should be quite straightforward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.. save and exit FM, then shut down steam, load up FM again from the desktop shortcut and it should bring up an option of 'start in offline mode' click that and then it should work without being online.
